BC's Restart

We are currently in Step 3 of the four-step plan focused on protecting people and safely getting life back to normal. As we start to put the pandemic behind us, some of us will be taking it slower than others. Be respectful and kind as you consider others' situations and personal choices.

Get Vaccinated

If you haven't got vaccinated yet or if it's been more than 28 days since your first dose, visit a drop-in clinic today and get protected from COVID-19.

Visit the Province's Vax for BC for drop-in clinic locations.
